Why
not try and see positive things, to just touch
those things and make them
bloom?

Did You Know?
A
YogaNow yogi is part of an organizing effort for
the Cradle Project (thecradleproject.org),
January 26, 6-11 pm at The Factory on 5th
(1715 5th St NW), that's tomorrow! An
evening of Art, Entertainment, Fund-Raising, and
Dancing. The Cradle Project
is an installation designed to represent the
plight of the estimated 48 million children who
have been orphaned by disease and poverty in
sub-Saharan Africa.
And
what about the American
Hero, Wesley Autrey (pix to the
right from the New
York Times)? If you haven't heard
about it: Mr. Autrey, 50 yrs old, a
construction worker and Navy veteran, lept in
front of a subway train throwing his body on top
of a stranger's to save him as a train passed
overhead. He rescued a man who suffered a
seizure and fell in the tracks. Our hero
left his daughters, 4 and 6 yrs old, on the
platform, to save another's life. Only his
hat was harmed.
Now
that's some inspiring and good news. Who
among us would do the same?
Meta's Message
One
is not wise
because
one speaks much.
He
who is peaceable, friendly and fearless
is
called wise.
Dhammapada
258
You may wonder how a
person such as myself can quote the Buddha (above
in Dhammapada) about not speaking much, as I'm
someone who so obviously loves to talk! One
of the many unexpected gifts of the recovery
process I've been involved in is that I honestly
didn't want to talk much of the time. I was
busy trying to stay soft inside and process the
body signals. And actually, it was
fascinating. Often just listening, watching,
smiling (if possible) was plenty of
communication.
Happily I'm feeling
much better and appreciate all the warm well
wishes from you. And even though I've
definitely "found my voice" again, I hold dear the
quiet and the option of using the other senses,
especially now, the sense of smell!
I offer you the idea of
trying on the idea of listening more, talking
less, and smiling TONS more!
Many many wishes for
connection to ourselves and others,
Meta.

you.”) |
